An SS 2 Student is at the verge of being blind as She's battling eye
problem after being slapped by her Principal's Secretary at Bishop
Philips Academy Ibadan,Oyo State.

Here's interview Excerpts from Sunday Tribute:

"On Thursday, January 29, students were
having an Agriculture class, so those of us
offering Food and Nutrition left the class and
three of us went to stay in one of the rooms
in the building.



"We saw our teacher from the window of the
room so we wanted to step out to go and
meet her. As we were about to leave the
room, we saw the secretary to the Principal,
Mrs Funke Fasina. She asked us what we
were doing in that room but before we could
explain, she slapped us one after the other.




"By the time I got home, my left eye had
turned red and painful. I told my mother
what happened but she dismissed me,
saying that I would not have been slapped if
I didn't do something wrong.



On Monday
February 9, my mother followed me to
school and the principal asked my mother to
take me to the hospital.


"We went to Catholic Hospital, Eleta, Ibadan
and we were told to do the scan of the eye.
By then, my eye had become bulgy and I
was no longer seeing clearly. We went to St.
Gregory's Ultrasound Centre, Yemetu. From
there, we went to the University College
Hospital, Ibadan and I was told that I would
undergo surgery.



We were told to bring
N300,000 as deposit. My parents have
reported the case at the police station in
Alakia Adelubi and the woman admitted that
she slapped me."Before the slap, she never
had any pain or itch in her eye, so the report
that she had a problem with her eye does
not hold water. "Now I can no longer see
with my right eye and I am going through a
lot of pains," she stated.

The victim's family is distressed because of the financial burden

They are claiming that the medical report was
altered by a staff member of the hospital related
to the accused to claim the victim had an
underlying eye issue, therefore suggesting the
present predicament did not originate from the
slap.



. They have not received any financial
assistance from the accused or the government
so far and are struggling to fund the treatment.
The case has been transferred to the Department
of Criminal Investigation and the accused has
been arraigned in court.
